[jackfan9000]

@IgotzSexyAzz

Yes you haVE :)

[MikeDeBleser]

MA2G

Don't do this, i don't get it.

Just go hunting for leather: you'll train sneak, archery.

then use the half of your leather -> leather strips.

And then smith leather bracers (:

Takes Max.250 Arrows for Smithing Lv.100

Don't waste 10K gold for Iron daggers

PS: don't sell the bracers when finished, use them to train enchantments, i used them till Lv.70

[gameguy20100]

try leather bracers they work just as well plus its cheaper

[fartingicecream]

I just craft iron daggers it works

[poisenpotato123]

I think that the best time to make all of these irons daggers is after you get the 20,000 gold from that last dark brotherhood quest

[Blaze8D]

though you can buy smithing training from the guy at the companions and then pickpocket your money back, free training!

[Novarezz]

I enchanted mine with banish. Buy iron+straps+soul gem=100-400 then they sell for 1100-2000. Make the big bucks. Love banish

[2chrono2]

Ah, my favourite "glitch" in the game.

[kyrous10]

this is what i hate in Skyrim. I think the better you were at Smithing, the harder it should be to level up. For example: u should be forced to smith better items instead the easier ones. D: i also think it could have more types of armors. Daedric, Dwelven, Dragon, Orcish, Ebony, that's too few.

[Dragoon51585]

@kyrous10 technically it is, cause im at level 83, and it takes like 10 daggers to level up once

[kyrous10]

@Dragoon51585 yeah...now i noticed that..lv 81...desconsider my other commentary xD

[DaedricDildo]

@kyrous10 lol theres more armours, there iron, iron banded, leather, studded, elvan, dragon scale/dragon bone, steal, steal plate, glass, and i think thers 1 or 2 more i just forget

[MrGoatflakes]

I did a similar thing but basically just bought only the iron ore and leather (not leather strips) cause it's a lot cheaper. Got to smithing 100 at about level 30 without to much stress or gold loss.

Also a good way to make level up while making money is to get dwemer metal (struts, plate (of metal not like plates for eating they are useless), solid, and bent scrap) from the dwarven ruins, then smelt it to dwarven ingots and mix them with some iron to make a bow.

For even more cash enchant em.

[TehTedTeam]

This will be too easy, and FIANLLY something I can spend my 50k coins on.

[MrZangetsu1993]

lol im not going to have a problem with enchanting my stuff once ive gotten lvl 100 smithing because ive got hundreds of soul gems of every type excluding black soul gems in like 10 kettles in my breezehome house

[MrGoatflakes]

@MrZangetsu1993 lol kettle o' souls

[MrZangetsu1993]

@MrGoatflakes correction four kettles o' souls

[wizkhalifaufc]

where do you get your ingots all shops only have like 10

[nole120]

@wizkhalifaufc you can go to mines and get ore which can be smelted into ingots,you will need a pickaxe and a smelter.The Smelter is near the forge

[Jeudaos]

wait, daedric is better heavy than dragon? it cannot be. goddammit!

[Pacheconator122]

I crafted all of my daggers, enchanted them and sold them for about 350 each.

Mad Profit. 

[woodman91393]

and to boost enchanting quickly as well, you can just go enchant all those daggers you just made. you get so much gold if you have disenchanted something with the "Banish" enchantment.

[teagod2004]

Liked and favorite video!!

[franticjack]

you can press 'e' then 'y' really fast on the PC for this trick.

[XYLagGaming]

I've found that the best way to gain money is to do gold or silver rings (with stones is possible) enchant them them sell them

[Jeorgy92]

and where do i find more iron ingots when the sellers run out?

[MrZangetsu1993]

@Jeorgy92 just wait a couple of days

[ghosttharian]

Kudos, you just saved me a lot of time.

[poketosonic88834]

And that 'Smithing Level-Up' message would probably bug you for about 3 minutes ._.

[Barneyismyname]

you should enchant them too, then you actually make profit! And train your enchanting of course. (drain health is the enchantment the makes the most profit)

[Alphanumaric]

Pretty sure this got patched on the Xbox. I made like 20 iron daggers and only level 3 times sooooooo

[Tombstone1195]

@Alphanumaric His race probably has a racial bonus in smithing. Also, he might have enchanted items, potions, or spells that improve his smithing while equipped. :)

[donkeykong1989]

I think this got kinda patched on the XBOX cuz the iron daggers don't give nearly as much XP as they used to (at least in my case)

[Shaqueta7]

Dragon is better than Daedric. Although Daedric has the higher base armour, Dragon plate has a slightly higher value once both armours are upgraded to legendary. The Daedric gauntlets and boots still out to their Dragon counterparts, the extra armour rating provided by the armour segment, shield, and helmet give the Dragon armour a slight edge over Daedric armor.

[bluecat68]

@Shaqueta7 So the best is Dragon armor + Daedric weapon ?? Thanx first & good day ~

[Shaqueta7]

@bluecat68 The best is Dragon armor, fully improved to Legendary condition. If you aren't going to improve it (because it was a drop, and you can't improve it that much) then Daedric is slightly better.

Daedric weapons are the best, correct.

[bluecat68]

@Shaqueta7 So far i havent seen any detail about Dragon vs Daedric in Legendary mode in the same condition (without enchantment) and seen Dragon just slightly better than Daedric in Legendary then i think i prefer to save some perk to just go for Daedric . Good day ~

[RebeltubeStation]

thank you very much for this :)

[iiDaeKi]

Isnt it easier to press E and Y instead of E and mouse click?

[Dawggi3xt4]

notcasuals its cheaper to make Leather Braces all u need is 1 Leather and 2 lether strips

[jagr06]

WOW and here I thought Pelt were still useless. God i'm such a dumbass ahaha

Well I guess now I can get some pelt and turn it into leather strips :)

[SuperCorey95]

Is there a level progression curve? Like each level you do you have to earn more experience each time?

[NotCasuals]

@SuperCorey95 Not sure, the experience system is odd, its not based on kills, its based on skills that level up that then give you character exp.

[4megatiger]

@NotCasuals how many ingots will it take to level my smithing from 70 to 90?

[karkkosvolfe]

@SuperCorey95

Yes, there is a progression curve after you reach a certain point. Though you really got to pay attention to notice.

[djpgator]

@SuperCorey95 According to the Elder Scrolls wiki every 10 skill levels you increase, it will level your character up so you can level 10 skills one point each and level up or 1 skill 10 times or any way you'd like in between.

[ofdeathbydarklord]

7K gold for lvl 25-79 wtf

[lamenotcool]

@ofdeathbydarklord so mine iron ores, and buy them, too. it didn't cost me that much, but i had mined like 140 iron ores from just derping around a lot.

[XCRAZYdave21X]

If u enchant all the daggers and then sell them, you will make more money selling them and u level up enchanting at te same time

[bluecat68]

@XCRAZYdave21X Sell higher price item increase Speech skill faster too :) So we get lot smithing + enchant + speech skill together in the progress :)

[fitzgeraldfitzy]

how much coins would this cost from level 1-99?

[NotCasuals]

@fitzgeraldfitzy like 10 000 gold or something.

[MunkeeMedia]

@NotCasuals thats alot better than runescape.. :3

[F1ght4Lifee]

@NotCasuals 1-90 for ebony how much for that?

[BradtheCrazy]

@F1ght4Lifee 1-80*, I got it in around 3k gold. I got to 100 in about 8k gold. I never enchanted the daggers, just sold them directly back in their normal state. I suggest doing all the Dark Brotherhood quest until you kill the Emperor for a 20k gold reward c:

[F1ght4Lifee]

@BradtheCrazy well i have 12k at the moment good enough?

[BradtheCrazy]

@F1ght4Lifee Yeah

[ronoc36]

what city is this?

[NotCasuals]

@ronoc36 Whiterun.

[rpengler1]

There are better, and cheaper ways, but also requires a bit of skill. Your right in crafting iron daggers to start with, but once you can craft dwarven, raiding dwarven ruins is an awesome way to raise smithing at very low cost. In addition, make good use of the grindstone. A sharpened weapon sells for far more then an unsharpened one, even more so at higher smithing levels.

[Jreicher17]

@0:43 mash your keys like a crazy fucker!!

[TheHeavensRejected]

Something you should add is getting a bunch of petty (or better) soul gems and enchanting the daggers first so get max gold out of them and level up your enchanting.

[jakemantiv]

I don't think they will patch this because later on once you get past around lvl 60 smithing the rate it increases dramatically slows down and it takes like 7 or 8 daggers to lvl up.

[JFluffyful]

good idea.

you could try this too:

-do one of the Whiterun bounty quests and get 'transmute'

-buy/mine silver and iron ore

-spam transmute until you cant anymore

-make all the new GOLD ore into ingots

-make the gold into gold rings (2 per ingot)

[NormalFayde]

how do you get so much gold? please can you do a tutorial :)

[NotCasuals]

@NormalFayde Theres no real trick to gold, just have a high speech, pick up what you can in dungeons, prioritize items depending of their weight/value and sell to vendors in the correct orders : weapon/armor vendors / mage vendor / potion vendor / your wife / general vendor

[captamerica26]

@NotCasuals if you want to acquire a lot of gold do all of the Dark Brotherhood quests and at the end you get 20,000 gold plus all of the gold from the contracts

[bluecat68]

@captamerica26 I dont think money is a problem in this game , I in lvl43 now with gold 62k without cheating . Just make sure to spend time to explore the world and harvest & mine & kill the animal that attack you and bring a follower to carry all the items that you can find and then go back for alchemy + enchant + smith then sell for tons of gold .

[bluecat68]

@captamerica26 By the way i dont even start all of the Dark Brotherhood quests yet to get my 62k gold , the key is that whether player willing to spend time to walk instead of fast travel . Even if the objective is too far away i just fast travel to somewhere nearer then start walking . There are many benefits to do so actually .

[IRONGOOSE69r]

@NormalFayde for money do what notcasuals said but you should also go mining for orichalum or w/e ebony gold ect thats what i do

[AddictedGamer5]

@NormalFayde i just finished the dark brotherhood got 20k wasted 10k on 100 smithing then did the house gltich to get free house and once you get shadowmere from the dark brotherhood put game on master and beat your horse then you can get 100 one-handed sword 100 2h sword 100 archery

[GauntV]

@NormalFayde

alchemy is a great way to make fast monaaays

[NotCasuals]

@ImaRandomerxX I am French Canadian :)

[add2q21]

A faster way to spam iron daggers is to press E and then Y :) ( instead of clicking your mouse button)

[drunkdunmer9]

HA!!!!

[TheGamesforreal]

best way to farm some gold is to enchant as many of the daggers you just made as possible the best as you can! or you can do the same with rings and enchant those 2rings/ ingot because rings seem to gain alot more in value than daggers

[GrammarFailure]

You can scroll the iron dagger up (thanks to the terrible UI) and just use your mousebutton. When you click it selects the dagger and you click again and it selects yes.

[BushkillMusic]

nicely done!

[NotCasuals]

@BushkillMusic Thanks mate !

[ronintheagressor]

Sweet trick, thanks for the info!

[TwnzSnip3]

How much did it cost to get all those materials that you used????

[NotCasuals]

@TwnzSnip3 Around 5000 gold.

[Kelnot]

What's that accent?

[NotCasuals]

@Kelnot French Canadian.

[williamwzl]

When playing a Thief type character. Do you recommend going the path of light armor smithing when you rank up to make better light armors or going the path of heavy armors to get weapons like the daedric dagger. Or should I waste points on the entire smithing skill tree.

[NotCasuals]

@williamwzl That choice is really up to you, but the best weapons are Daedric and the Best light armor is Dragon so, its a personal choice, do what you think is worth it :)

Personally , Id probably get both sides of the tree since perks in this game are fairly easy to gain.

[froebdorks]

@williamwzl As a Thief you will join the Thieves Guild and get their armor. Get the Arcane Blacksmith so you can improve it and you wont need anything else for a while. Go up the Heavy armor path for the weapons and that will lead you through Daedric(for the daggers) and Dragon for the weapons and best light Armor. Hope that helps.

[BroderElg]

Thx dude! 

[NotCasuals]

@BroderElg No problem mate :)

[erdodi73]

Don't sell the daggers! Buy all the filled gems from traders, then enchant the daggers and sell them back to the trader/blacksmith. Once you have a good enchant (like health vamp) the enchanted daggers will sell fro 200-400 golds instead of the base 10. This is gonna level your enchanting + make tons of money. 

[Lawstead]

I tend to find making leather bracers to be a cheaper alternative. Leather is typically cheaper than iron and you can harvest them from critters you kill. The ingredients are a leather piece and 2 leather strips.

[iModifYouri]

what race is he? any1

[NotCasuals]

@iModifYouri This character is a wood elf.

[coynedogg]

I would not focus on developing a non-combat (or combat magic) skill until you have mastered one that will help you defeat enemies.

The difficulty of your opponents is based on your level. Raise your level and they become more difficult. This system works when your combat skills are progressing at a normal pace.

Advance a bunch of support skills prior to advancing combat skills.. and drastically increase your level.. and you will likely have a more difficult time fighting.

[NotCasuals]

@coynedogg Although its true that the monsters scales to a certain extent, the bonus you will get from using better armor and better weapons, upgraded to a much higher lvl, will benefits you 10x more then the scaling effects.

This will benefits you more then anything else in the game.

[steelsprinter1]

U r the man. thanks bro



[leevancleef35]

if you are not a werewolf u can rest before craft the daggers and get 10% more experience.

[D3IMoS697]

i Love you.

[NotCasuals]

@D3IMoS697 Thanks :)

[noobyworks]

Nice but what town is this please?

[NotCasuals]

@noobyworks Whiterun

[Cherudex]

easier with a finger on E and another on Y (Y works to say Yes)

[Blueyesensei18]

Do you think the patch they plan to release will prevent us from doing this or will this still work even after the patch?

PS3 version has some framerate issues I started to really notice and if it keeps up might make the game unplayable until the new patch.

[NotCasuals]

@Blueyesensei18 Im not sure if next patch is gonna affect this or not, im guessing it wont.

[crazydog121]

@NotCasuals maybe less exp per craft?

[SteveGarbage]

Like most leveling exploits in Elder Scrolls games, however, by pumping up your smithing like crazy you'll end up crippling yourself in combat. Enemies scale to your level to some degree (not as bad as in Oblivion at least), so if you gain five or ten levels from smithing without increasing any of your combat skills to boot, you'll eventually find yourself struggling to fight. So use with caution.

[NotCasuals]

@SteveGarbage Although its true that the monsters scales to a certain extent, the bonus you will get from using better armor and better weapons, upgraded to a much higher lvl, will benefits you 10x more then the scaling effects.

This trick will only benefit you.

[A7OldRscplayer]

@SteveGarbage Great point, but i guess you'll just have to use different strategies to kill your enemies lol

[Alex619214]

If you have a lot of soul gems,, enchant all the daggers you make to sell 'em 100-200 gold each, thus giving you a shitload of cash

[Loststory08]

@JackSeaNine I am going to try this when I get home from work. If this works, Will you marry me?

[LordMagecar]

is there a way to get a profit from smithing?

[X3n0nFr33k]

seems too exploity for my taste, im just gonna stay away from smithing until the first update

[Alwaysnoob4]

I like how he pronounces things like "irun" and "eboney"

[NotCasuals]

@Alwaysnoob4 haha, sorry for my accent mate :P

[GryphusLionheart]

Instead of Iron Daggers is waaay better in terms of cost and time consumed to craft Hide Bracers. ¿Why? Because iton lingots/ore are sold on small quantity on the weaponsmith, but they sell a shitload of leather, and most important, pelts of various animals.

Each pelt gives you 1 to 4 leather pieces, and each leather piece gives you 4 leather strips.

You only need 1 leather + 2 strips per Hide Bracers piece, so you can reach lvl 100 smithing way quickly and cheaper than with iron daggers :)

[Intrexa]

You can hit 'y' for yes, much better then clicking yes. Also, you can buy the pre filled petty soul gems, enchant the dagger, and sell it for a profit (The value of the enchanted dagger sell price is higher then the combined material buy price)

[M4T1N249]

i did the same but with hide brazers, its more cheaper

[Vin3160]

if you are a mage, you can do something like that as well. using the spell Muffle over and over again will rapidly increase your level on Illusion spells, works like a charm haha

[coolbeans559]

by the way, u can make loads of money from this aswell, iron daggers alone sell for like 3 gold, but if u enchant them first then they can sell for a few hundred.

if ur gunna do this though i suggest getting the soul trap spell, or perk, i cant remember what it is -.-, u get heaps though :D

[Blueyesensei18]

@coolbeans559 Yeah i noticed that but it depends on the enchancement you use Soul Trap is the worst one to add, I seen the Wikia site mention Banish enchantment or the Health sapping one.

[usernameruss]

there is an easier way to get iron ingots. Go to riverwood where the blacksmith is and under his workbench there should be stacks of iron and steel ingots that you can take, not steal. :D

[avidgamer699]

I did something similar where I hoarded tons and tons of smithing supplies in my whiterun house. Then i grabbed them all (weight was 1200 or so) and smithed from 53 to 100 in 1 go.

[NotCasuals]

@avidgamer699 haha very nice :)

[koolaidshittznet]

@NotCasuals how did u get alot of magika

[NotCasuals]

@koolaidshittznet When you lvl up press Tab and assign you lvl ups to Magicka points.

[SuperDartmaul]

and if you want to lvl up enchantement then do this in adition: get soul gems. (aLOT OF EM). go to an enchantement altar. enchant the dagger with magica damage. repeat until out of gems/daggers.

you should now have a higher enchantement skill.

[Blueyesensei18]

This should work on the console versions right?

[NotCasuals]

@Blueyesensei18 It should but I cannot confirm this to you, sorry mate.

[Link9164]

@Blueyesensei18 tested and can confirm it works on 360

[crustypaynus]

@Blueyesensei18 yes, it does

[ThibautVDP]

i just use leather, and hunt some animals or steal hides in an orc stronghold i murdered out XD

[twodotsoveri]

You can click Y Instead of yes, takes much less time

[CallumFergy]

Where is this? What city?

[patto2k]

@CallumFergy whiterun has everything out the front when you enter it. there's also 2 sellers right next to them.

[CallumFergy]

@patto2k Cool, cheers.

[ThatBritishNoob]

hide braces are even cheaper

[rodmongodwood]

yeah now explain please how u got over 100 iron ignots at level 4 without cheating xD

[ARCEUSxLOVER]

But if you plan on training smith, where do you put all your other stuff in the meantime? And were do you get all those ingots?

First time I played Emder scrolls, I don't get it :(

[aawsome69]

@ARCEUSxLOVER you can buy them or mine them. you can get iron ingots everywhere

[DemonstrativePronoun]

You don't have to press 'E' if you don't want. You can just left click.

[mattmanson0]

Hide bracers: 1 Leather, 1 Leather Strip. Priceless smithing exp :D

[blinkgenre]

i dont want to level my speech cause when you buy/sell it can increase depending upon the price.

[bondlah]

you can press y or n instead of clicking

[StickGuy0000000001]

hide bracers are better

[X4Cer]

Yeah great idea... if you can deal with monsters that have leveled along with you. Too bad you can't kill em with your smithing skills. :/

[NotCasuals]

@X4Cer The benefits of wearing better weapons and armors and being able to upgrade them even more will be much easier then if you decided to lvl something else then smithing.

[g1ng3rbl00d]

@X4Cer except that the monsters level off of your combat skills and not your level...

[X4Cer]

@g1ng3rbl00d Ah cool, I didn't know that!

[xbufuhunterx]

0:40 LMFAO!!! I love you man!

[SoulBladeM]

IMO Leather Bracers are a cheaper version to increase smithing. It requires 1 leather and 2 strips to craft. 1 leather equals 4 strips. So it costs 1.5 leather per bracer. Please leave your opinion.

[SilentShadowLT]

@SoulBladeM And leather is easier and more interesting to gather then wait-buying iron ore/ingots. A 15-minute trip west from Whiterun and back yields about 50 leather - those deer are everywhere.

[fladoodel]

Thanks. Really helpful.

[CrazyKillerStickman]

if you go with your mouse over the iron dagger and than click yes, you can spam this, just double click the yes button you need no e on your keyboard ;)

[NeoxideMolten]

As an Archer do I want to get Dragon Armor or Daedric Armor? Are there more than 1 type of Archer playstyle that could allow either of these armors to be useful? What would you recommend?

[JP6580]

How did you make the forge girl sell stuff?

[DeathLisk]

wow its amazing how ugly the console version is compared to this one (PC). its sad that both it shows how outdated the current consoles are and that my pc is to crappy to handle awesomeness

[nolyspe]

How the fuck did you get so much leather / iron at level 4 ?

[IchigoKurosaki011]

@nolyspe Leather and iron is easy to get.... for free. :o And to buy also.

[DrekorSilverfang]

It's worth noting that if you do a cheap absorb health enchant(using petty souls) you can increase the value of the daggers up to 400-500; usually sells to the blacksmith chick in whiterun for ~200 it makes you good profit and levels your enchanting at the same time. Selling each dagger individually also helps boost your speech.

[mxfirehead]

Im thinking of getting skyrim should i?

[NotCasuals]

@mxfirehead Its one of the best RPG to have come out in a long time, if you like RPG, you should buy it!

[mxfirehead]

@NotCasuals Mk sounds good do you think by the 30th it'll be patched..?

[SilentShadowLT]

@NotCasuals I wouldn't call it the best. The map is about as big as Oblivion's without water with mountains taking up the same space as water did in Oblivion, making for annoying and hard-to-traverse terrain, the dungeons are repetitive, save for a few that actually do not consist of fighting your way through copy-pasted corridors and killing a boss in a big room for a reward and the game's charm runs out after 30-50 hours of play, after that it seems like a grind. It's good, but hardly the best

[NotCasuals]

@SilentShadowLT I am unsure what brought this argument up, this video is a tutorial of smithing and in no way shape or form I give my opinion of the game.

[SilentShadowLT]

@NotCasuals Just making a point, not trying to start anything.

@SilentShadowLT

Name another good singplayer rpg that lasts anywhere near 50 hours of good gameplay. Exactly Skyrim is amazing and offers so much play
